Trusting Cats

In order for us not to run out of money for taking care of His mother, They listened to a guy who figured out how to be sure to have enough by making a trust. That is what She told me, and I believe Her, because She is very particular about money. It means His mother will move to a new place that is close to our house - but not too close. He still has to drive there. This afternoon a guy explained it all to them, and She gets it. He is still a little confused, but if He has a list and does one thing at a time, it will work just fine. I asked Her to put Feed Cats first on the list. Just a few more things and everything is fine, even if L'ancienne lives another 25 years. She is convinced that His mother will do that, just to make Her scream. I don't know if She is joing or not.
They stopped for something to eat on Their way home, and She showed me a sandwich with chicken coming out the sides. It looks as if I will get a bit of a reward for letting them leave me alone for such a long time. I trust Her to do that for me.
Everyone is talking about the nice weather here, but it is raining where Her beloved Eddie lives. She writes letters on the computer to people that live there, too. It is also nice where Her OperaGirl lives, so she can practice for her next walk. So it is a mostly good day today, and Kasey and I are trusting cats. ByeBye.

Good Citizen Cats

It seems as if there is a big election to choose people to help run the country. She doesn't want to change things, so She went and voted before the real voting day, to be sure She could get Her vote and let people know. It was a long line, She said, but not as long as it will be if She waits two more weeks. She met some nice people in line, but She didn't ask them who they were voting for. Most people around here doon't vote like She does, and She didn't want to make a fuss.So now that job is finished, and She is knackered.
She is also excited for Deena'sGirl, who has moved to a whole different country. Deena'sMom is going over there to see D'sG's new home, and to play with her grandbabies. What She says is the plane ride will be very long, so She will tell D'sM to take some good books - and maybe a puzzle or two. It doesn't matter that She doesn't get to go. She is so happy for the rest of those guys.
What He had to do today was take His mother around to see a new place for her to live. His mother had lunch at one of the places, but He says she didn't remember. Poor Him. He still doesn't know His mother is not all there. Now He wants to get her a hearing aid. It would be like getting a hearing aid for the lamp, is what She says.
She wants to think happy things, so She is still happy for Her OperaGirl walking about a million miles and still strong enough to go to her work. And She is happy that She voted. She says we are all good citizens at our house. We will celebrate by having chicken with our vegetables tonight! I'll celebrate that myself! Chow.

Good Weekend Cars

This has been a very nice day around here. Mostly quiet in the house, but exciting on this computer, as She has been so happy reading what people have said. Her OperaGirl finished the whole walk she was on, and She is so very proud of her. I am in good shape for a cat, and I could not walk so many miles, and to make it even harder, Her O.G. still has a cough and cold. What a brave, clever person O.G. is. Although She didn't say so, I think O.G.'s cats gave her some help with this walk-project.
She was also happy to see that LW'sMom and Dad will be back at their home today. They were far away to be sure LW'sMom could be a good minister, and it turns out that she can. It didn't surprise Her one bit. LW'sMom is a brave, clever person, too.
Then She saw pictures of His and Her dear friends who got married yesterday. It looked very charming, She said, and these friends deserve a lot of happiness.
So that has made it a nice weekend, with good shows on TV to finish it off. I will get some really good lap time, and will get a bit of Her little pie tonight. We will be all rested up so They can go and vote tomorrow. That means they will try to choose good leaders. It is an important thing to do. Both of Them say that. I can not vote, but I trust Them to pick the right leaders. Bone swar, chers.

Special Day Cats

Luckily for us, She has gotten over Her dreadful day feelings, so things are nice here today. Not that She would let His mother come here to live. That is completely off the table as an idea, and She is ready for plan B. He went around checking places where L'ancienne might live. (She taught me that in French. Nicer than *the old lady*) His mother won't like any of them, especially if she has to have a room mate.
But She had to miss the wedding of some good friends, because it was kind of far away, in a place where it is hard for Her to walk. The wedding people know that He and She sent them good wishes and a nice, cozy blanket, so that is OK.
Way over on the other side of the country, LW'sMom passed the last test for becoming a minister, and She is proud of that.
And of course She could not go to Her OperaGirl's house to see her walk a lot of miles for money for sick people. If She had been there, She would have cheered a lot for Her O.G. It is a wonderful thing to do and She is so proud of OperaGirl for walking all that way. It turns out that O.G. has to walk some more tomorrow, to finish the job. We are all sending love and energy for her and our cousins that help her rest.
So a lot of things happened today, and we are back to being lovey here. He is very glad She is not feeling dreadful any more. He says that money isn't worth that! She will be fixing gumbo for him today. I will hope for something better tomorrow. And She told me that it is not nice to say yuk. Sorry.

Dreadful Day Catsw

You can see that I didn't get to write my story yesterday. Here's why. She was having a dreadful day, and so She turned this computer off. I am a clever cat, but I can't turn it on by myself, as well you know. So let me get you caught up. First, you have to remember that His mother is in a special place for old people. You also need to remember that the old person place costs a lot of money. At this rate, He was afraid the old woman would run out of money. Goodness knows He and She couldn't pay for it. They went to see the guy that Smudge'sMom sent them to to figure out how to get help with that money business. Well, here's what the guy said for them to do. Use the o.l.'s money to pay for Their house, then have her come and live here with us. I bet that guy wishes he had not said that to Her, because She went into a hissy-fit, and refused to let that happen. If you know Her, you would understand. It was not a pretty experience. After She calmed down, the guy came up with a different idea, which was lucky for him! He and She will work on that new idea, and I'll tell you about it.
Luckily, She had some time with Katy'sMom and Katy'sBoy to make Her happy again. It was a good thing, because He was able to stay out of Her way while She was with them. She seemed OK today, so here I am. It looks as if there is fish for dinner, so I guess life is good again. Toodles.

Wise Cats

When you are as old as I am, Coffs, you will have so much wisdom that you won't be scared any more. That's what She was telling me this morning, while I was getting my brushing. I wish I could tell Her that it isn't anything He or She does that makes me scared. So I will look forward to becoming old and wise. Her group of very wise friends are Her beloved Crones, and She had lunch with them today. They are some of Her favorite friends, and She loved seeing them, and catching up on all the Crone talk. Smudge'sMom's YoungerGirl was there, and seemed quite grown up, and not at all silly. S'sM had pictures of her family and we were all excited to see how Smudge'sM's son looked just like him!
Just getting old doesn't make you wise, though, because His mother is even older than She is, and she isn't wise at all. She doesn't know what day it is, and calls Him to see what His clock says. He went to see her today, and took her out to eat lunch. It was not anywhere near as fun as Her lunch with Her Crones. Can you guess what He did when He came home? Yes, you are right. He went to bed.
Tomorrow They are going to see the guy who is helping them keep track of His mother's care. That is fine, except She has to get up so early. She doesn't like to do that, but She promised Him She would not be grumpy about it.
She had such a lot to eat at Her Crones' lunch that She is just having soup for Her dinner. Yuk. Oh, well. we DID have shrimp last night. TTYL.

Postal Cats

One of Her friends lives far away where Her Eddie lives, and this friend/grandkid doesn't feel well. She got the girl some American candy, and had to take it to the post office to send it so far. She loves to do things like that. The girl may not even like the kind of candy She sent, but She says it is the thought that counts. I helped Her get the package ready.
She also got a big package Herself. It has things for sending people, but not as far as Eddie's house. She wants to have all Her packages ready to send pretty soon. For one thing, it takes longer to send things when Christmas is coming. I will tell you another reasoon, which is a secret. Shhh. If She doesn't get the packages ready early, She keeps getting more things. Drat those catalogs!
She had a visitor today, after the post office. Her Music Guy'sWife came over and brought Her a shirt. Their Boy opened a coffee-the-drink shop and She now has a shirt from there. She is chuffed at that. I really liked the MG'sW, and didn't even go to the closet. Kasey didn't even come out.It is a lot of miles to the boy's shop, but He and She are going to go there one of these days. She will wear the shirt then, and everyone will laugh and be happy.
Katy'sMom sent over some meats for Them, and we had some for lunch. I don't know what is for supper, but I think I'll like it. I'll let you know.
